Treats, as a swollen ankle (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ices

'treats as a swollen ankle' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ices that I've seen before include "Cold confections" , "Decorates cake with sugar topping" , "Freezes" , "summer refreshment" , "Decorates cakes with frosting" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times and the Universal.
